LOL Bronzing Powder Review

Bronzing Powders are commonly used to warm up the face and to give depth and shadows for a more natural look. I saw this bronzer at an LOL Stand and bought it so that I can give it a try.





PRICE:

I bought it at Watsons for 299 pesos. It has 8 grams

FORMULA AND PACKAGING:

The Packaging looks good. You can see a lot of the product from the outside and the compact is simple. It comes in a plastic compact form. 

The powder is not fully pressed because after dropping it once on the floor, this happened. . . .
the powder cracked easily.
The powder  is really matte, smooth, and fime.
I got the shade 02 Brown Sugar which is a matte warm brown.
It has a very orange tint. It is quite intimidating to put on.

PERFORMANCE:

  • It has only three shades
  • The shade I got is very pigmented and very orange. 
  • It looks very intimidating to use because it is too orange
  • Has a matte finish
  • The powder is fine and smooth
A swatch shows how pigmented this product is
It looks okay when properly blended but it's still too orange for my liking.

FINAL VERDICT:

I am not fond of using this as bronzer because it is too orange. I sometimes use it as blush and light contour. 
It is very pigmented . You just have to control the amount because too much will make you look too orange and unnatural. This Shade will look better on people with warm undertones.

Overall, i rate  this Bronzing Powder 3 out of  5

OMG Box Nail File Review

You know that colorful boxy thing you see at the nails section of the department store. I bought one of that because I was so attracted to it. I named it 'Box Nail File' because it is a nail file that is shaped like a box. haha

I got one from the brand Oh My Girl.



For starters, I would like to say do not buy this product. You are better off purchasing a cheaper nail file. that being said, I will continue with my review

PRICE:

I bought it for 27 pesos at my local department store. Pricier than a regular sandpaper nail file.

PACKAGING:

It is a box shaped nail file. I was initially attracted to the colors of the box but, what got me to buy this product was that it has four different uses for the nails.At every side of the box, you get a different use. 

All you have to do is rub your fingernail onto the box.

PERFORMANCE:

Side 1 (File Nail Edge)
All sides have these foam like thing attached to it with different textures.
Side 1 (File Nail Edge) has the roughest texture but it is far from sand paper.



Side 2 (Remove Ridges)
I don't know the difference between Side 1(File nail edge) and Side 2 (Remove Ridges).
I see no difference when I use these sides.  The surface of the box is too soft for it to file my nail.


Side 3 (Smooth Nail)
Side 3(Smooth Nail)
This feels like rubbing your nails on foam. It has no effect whatsoever.


Side 4 (Shine Nail)
Side 4(Shine Nail) is a little bit effective. It does add a little shine to my nail.
Before using Side 4(Shine Nail)
The shine of my nail is very dull
After using Side 4 (Shine Nail)
The nail became shinier
This is the only side I found to be effective

FINAL VERDICT:


Like I said, You are better off purchasing a cheap nail file (The sandpaper one) because this doesn't do anything other than shine my nail. @@ It is quite disappointing because I had high hopes that the quality was okay but it turned out to be bad.


Overall I rate this 1.5 out of  5
